Woof, my dear people! This is your Alma, the dachshund lady with style, charm, and a keen power of observation. Today I have a particularly curious topic for you that always catches my eye when I observe you humans: your love of cups —and your incredible division into two camps.
Some people can't live without a proper handle, while others prefer cup-like mugs that can be gripped with both hands. As a neutral party in this heated debate, I'd like to shed some light on the matter.
The Henkel fans: precision and structure
Let's start with the handle people. You seem to be the orderly types to me. You grip your cup by the handle, balance it perfectly, and look almost a little proud. As if you're saying, "Look, I've got life firmly under control!"
Maybe you're the type who completes their to-do lists on time and whose sofa cushions are always perfectly fluffy. But watch out, handle fans! If you rely too much on the handle, I might throw you off balance by unexpectedly zipping past you.
The Becher Friends: Coziness and Emotions
Then there are the cup-like mugs, without handles, that you hold with both hands. These people seem somehow more... cozy to me. You don't just drink your coffee or tea —you celebrate it. You're probably also the ones who, after a long walk, like to sit with me, wrapped in a blanket, on the sofa and sigh quietly: "Ah, how beautiful life is!"
But you're a little chaotic too, aren't you? I bet dog leashes, blankets, and chew bones are flying around your car. And that's totally okay—as long as we make ourselves comfortable together.
Big, small, fat, thin – how cups and people resemble each other
Now comes the funny part: I think your choice of cup says a lot about you, almost like it does with us dogs and our owners. Tall people often reach for large cups, while short people are content with cute espresso cups. Coincidence? I don't think so!
And what about the shape? A thick-walled mug with a handle might represent someone who's down-to-earth—like a Labrador. A sleek, elegant mug? That's sure to be a favorite with Whippet owners. And someone who drinks from a crazy, brightly painted mug might be a little playful—like me!
Handle or mug: What does that say about your relationship with me?
What I'm wondering, though, is: Is there a connection between cups and the way you treat your dogs? The handle people probably keep me on a very careful leash and make sure my collar fits perfectly. The cup people? They probably let me run around without a leash sometimes and secretly slip me treats.
My conclusion as a neutral cup expert
Whether with or without a handle, I love you all as long as you love me and fill my bowl regularly. But if you ask me, cups are like people and dogs—everyone has their own quirks, and that's what makes us so lovable.
